The week so far

8 Apr 20217 Apr 2021 Diane WordsworthLeave a comment

This is how my Scrivener binder for the project management series was looking when I started work on it on Tuesday. Tuesday I had a lot to do on Tuesday, so while the intention was to write at least a chapter, I only managed part of Chapter 4. In fact, I wrote 843 new words.… Continue reading The week so far

Plan for April 2021

6 Apr 2021 Diane WordsworthLeave a comment

Image by Alexander Stein from Pixabay I had a lovely Easter break, something I planned on due to being so busy again just recently. I even finished work at a respectable time on Thursday in order to enjoy the full weekend. Saying that, I did have my first Covid jab on Friday, and fortunately the… Continue reading Plan for April 2021

One jab down …

30 Mar 202129 Mar 2021 Diane Wordsworth2 Comments

Image by Alexandra_Koch from Pixabay ... three to go. Yup, the poet had the first of his two vaccinations at the weekend. His booking had got lost in the ether, somehow, but they saw him anyway, which was very good of them. Mine's on Friday. We didn't manage as much as we would like on… Continue reading One jab down …

Job searches

19 Feb 202118 Feb 2021 Diane Wordsworth2 Comments

Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay Thursdays are always tired days for me. I don't know why this happens, but it always has done. Even when I 'worked for a living' you could usually guarantee that Thursday would be the day I turned in late. I didn't 'walk to work' because by the time I… Continue reading Job searches

That was the week that was

12 Feb 2021 Diane Wordsworth2 Comments

I didn't have a great start to the week due to a rough night on Sunday and a long lie-in on Monday. However, I did manage to get some things done. Monday One of the things I wanted to do was see if there was any other editing or proofreading work coming up. I checked… Continue reading That was the week that was

Back to work

3 Feb 20212 Feb 2021 Diane Wordsworth2 Comments

Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay Our laptop is quite old now, and a bit too heavy to work with on my lap. But while I was waiting for my Covid test result to *not* come in (and to see if they would let me into the hospital), I really didn't feel like opening up the… Continue reading Back to work

Plodding along

28 Jan 202128 Jan 2021 Diane Wordsworth2 Comments

Image by 🎄Merry Christmas 🎄 from Pixabay Apologies for going AWOL for a few days. I've been plodding along, working steadily, and then by the end of each day, I've realised I haven't blogged yet – usually right after switching everything off. We had the entire weekend off. The only errand I had to run… Continue reading Plodding along

War of the antiviruses

21 Jan 202121 Jan 2021 Diane Wordsworth2 Comments

Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay I had a good day on Tuesday, I finished the pdf edits for the proofreading job and sent that back to the client. By return, she asked for my invoice, which I sent, also by return. The next job should have been editing, but I was distracted. While I… Continue reading War of the antiviruses

Slow n steady

19 Jan 202119 Jan 2021 Diane WordsworthLeave a comment

Image by Clker-Free-Vector-Images from Pixabay I had a slow and steady day yesterday. I didn't get everything done that I wanted to, but I did get through quite a lot of stuff anyway. I had dinner at my desk, and I finished work at about 6pm. Just in time for tea. Proofreading I finished the… Continue reading Slow n steady

Snow!

15 Jan 202114 Jan 2021 Diane WordsworthLeave a comment

I was very happy when we got up on Thursday morning to see that the snow I'd ordered, and had been promised, for about the past 3 weeks, had finally arrived. It looked very lovely, and it continued to snow for the rest of the day. I've had a good and solid working week, plodding… Continue reading Snow!

Historical accuracy in novels

14 Jan 202114 Jan 2021 Diane Wordsworth2 Comments

Image by Michael Drummond from Pixabay When I was learning how to write, fiction and non-fiction, I was taught to always ensure that my facts were correct, as there will always be someone who knows, and there will always be someone who complains if there's a mistake. When I was training to be a broadcast… Continue reading Historical accuracy in novels

Where is the snow?

11 Jan 20218 Jan 2021 Diane WordsworthLeave a comment

Image by Tomasz Proszek from Pixabay We were promised snow on Friday. Heavy snow. All day. We woke up and it wasn't even raining. To say I was disappointed was an understatement. I was looking forward to walking the dog in the snow. Before closing everything down on Thursday, an editing job came in from… Continue reading Where is the snow?

Welcome, 2021

4 Jan 2021 Diane Wordsworth2 Comments

Happy New Year to everyone! Let's hope we kick this virus in 2021, so that life can return to normal. I had a lovely long Christmas holiday, almost three whole weeks in the end. And while we were still very busy, I also did quite a lot of navel-gazing. I've been cogitating over the way… Continue reading Welcome, 2021

Ducks in a row

16 Dec 202016 Dec 2020 Diane Wordsworth2 Comments

Image by Gerhard G. from Pixabay So I've been spending the past few days planning for the new year. I did very well this year in that I was able to complete all of my outstanding work in good time to take the whole of the Christmas period off, for a change. But that, of… Continue reading Ducks in a row
